South Africa's elections 2014 : and the winner is?

Abstract:

On 7 May 2014, less than half a year after the death of Nelson Mandela, South Africans
democratically elected for the fourth time since 1994 the country’s national parliament
and the various provincial governments. In a generally relaxed climate, all seemed well
in the rainbow nation. Most parties welcomed the announced results. But do they and
the South African people now have cause for optimism?
